Chapter 123: Yue Lao Appears
Accompanied by loud applause, a cloud of white smoke suddenly exploded in the center of the stage, and a white-haired old man in a red Hanfu appeared in it.
The inner part of the red robe is white with different "喜" characters embroidered on it, making it look particularly festive.
Yue Lao was holding a walking stick in his hand. There was an empty spot on the stick where some hanging objects should have been placed, but there was no space there.
You should know that Yue Lao was specially invited by Taishang Laojun, and the reward for inviting him was naturally a lot of magical herbs.
Because he had Longpinxuan, a portable space for growing plants, Taishang Laojun would from time to time go to different immortal friends to ask for seeds of immortal herbs.
All the seeds of the fairy grass from the garden behind his own palace were planted in the back garden of West Lake College.
The conditions for planting the herbs are, of course, first, inviting Yue Lao to officiate the wedding, and second, for Taishang Laojun to extend his teaching time at West Lake Academy every year, and the period of time must be extended. If Long Pinxuan is required to personally perform planting techniques to speed up the growth of the herbs, then naturally more efforts will be required.
However, Long Pinxuan has not made up his mind yet, so Taishang Laojun can be said to still owe him a few conditions. It can be said that Erlang Shen and Taishang Laojun have done their best for West Lake Academy so far.
After all, they signed the list, so there will still be a subconscious influence.
Because as long as one signs on the list, he will not betray the academy. This is the most important reason why Long Pinxuan trusts the people in West Lake Academy so much.
Long Pinxuan sat at the main table, watching Yue Lao start the wedding ceremony as they had arranged, with a smile on his face.
This stage is actually not on the edge of West Lake, but in the center of West Lake. Similarly, there are four huge screens above the stage, tilted in four directions to magnify the situation on the stage so that all the people near the West Lake can see it.
The main table where Long Pinxuan and his group sat and the table where the students from West Lake College sat were on a platform above the West Lake in front of them, indicating that they were from West Lake College. Of course, Xu Xian's sister and brother-in-law also sat at the main table.
The other cultivators, monsters, families, including some sects in Hangzhou were all in areas along the West Lake, all in front.
After that is the place for the common people, each round table is placed with various delicacies and dishes.
All of these are borne by Westlake College.
Xiao Gui is extremely talented in cooking. With Long Pin Xuan's guidance, the food he makes is simply astonishing and reaches the pinnacle of cooking.
The tables full of exquisite and unrefined meals astonished everyone, whether they were gods or cultivators, monsters or ordinary people.
Especially since the little ghosts were more inclined towards ghost energy, they naturally learned the ghost clone technique. Thousands of clones were preparing food at the same time, and the speed of serving the dishes was thousands of times faster. After a short while, all the dishes were served on every table.
These ingredients are all produced in the back garden of West Lake College. Due to the rapid growth of plants in the portable planting space and the addition of planting techniques, the growth cycle of these vegetables is very short. In addition, the ingredients are spiritual, have a good taste and health-promoting effects, and the food made is first-class.
This wedding not only spread the West Lake Academy's philosophy of equality between humans and transsexuals, but also made the West Lake Academy's cuisine famous. When viewed from the outside, it naturally became the cuisine of West Lake and Hangzhou.
There is a saying that has spread throughout the East: "There is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below!"
Suzhou's gardens have been praised by many poets, and Hangzhou's beauty lies in its West Lake, but now it has one more thing to offer: delicious food!
The people who have attended this wedding banquet will remember it for the rest of their lives.
The "tiramisu" that I have never seen before, foie gras hand-held noodles, Hangzhou's specialty West Lake vinegar fish, Longjing shrimps, and the exquisite and incomparable snack platter, candied bananas, and latte art chocolate.
There is a menu on each seat at each table.
This menu directly became a collection of ordinary people, representing the dishes they had eaten.
It can be said that basically every table has some different dishes, which gives many people something to talk about after dinner.
For example, what did they each eat at the wedding banquet, how delicious it was, what shape it was, and what its name was.
So when people from outside Hangzhou come here and hear the words chocolate, tiramisu, and cake, they are all stunned. What kind of food is this?
It’s just that no one in Hangzhou can make it, and no one can eat it, because this is a benefit that can only be enjoyed by entering West Lake College!
At one time, many big men whose goal was to eat rushed to Hangzhou, hoping that their families, subordinates, or children could enter West Lake Academy. They did not ask for anything else but to bring some of the delicacies there out.
But right now, what matters is the wedding.
Yue Lao held the cane and pointed it into the air, and beautiful rose petals began to fall from the entire city of Hangzhou. Of course, these rose petals also came from the back garden of West Lake College.
The music of welcoming the bride also sounded.
"Hello, everyone! I am Yue Lao!"
"On this joyous day of laughter, auspiciousness, a full moon, and the union of heaven and earth, we gather here to solemnly celebrate the happy marriage of Xu Xian, the groom, and Bai Suzhen, the bride!"
"Today, I am very honored to be entrusted by the president of West Lake College to step into this sacred and solemn wedding hall, serve as the master of ceremonies for the newlyweds, and give a wedding speech to the newlyweds. Before that, please allow me to express my heartfelt thanks and warm welcome to you all on behalf of the two newlyweds and their families!"
"At the same time, let us sincerely bless them, pray for them, cheer for them, and applaud them! For their perfect union, let us bless the happy bride and groom with the warmest applause, and wish their life to be as sweet as honey, their love to be as eternal as the age of the gods, and their future to be as bright as gold!"
The whole audience burst into warm applause, especially Xu Xian's sister Xu Jiaorong and brother-in-law Li Gongfu, who clapped even more vigorously. Xu Jiaorong's eyes were still shining with tears. Her brother finally made it, entered the West Lake Academy, and solved his lifelong issue directly there.
She had no objection to the fact that her sister-in-law was a monster. There was also a monster in their family who helped Li Gongfu solve the case. The key point was that this monster was also a student of West Lake College, so there was nothing to worry about.
On the contrary, they felt extremely honored. They believed that their ancestors must have accumulated great merits in the past. Her brother had actually saved such a monster in his previous life, and now the blessing had come!
